When condolences aren't enough

I wasn't a supporter of the death penalty until I read the front page this morning. He was my mom's, her partner's and my sister's doctor. His parents employed my cousins when they were teenagers. He and his family touched so many lives in the most important ways-caring for others, and not just through medicine. The loss of his wife and girls in such a horrific fashion is unfathomable, and as C put it, no words do justice to the loss. Prayers and tears.
